Was reading article while listening to his banjo song: https://dancederholm.bandcamp.com/track/election-day. Good article, fellow Masshol...yman!

I read the article and full disclosure, I don't use Dribbble and am not a member. My thought is that temporarily suspending a user based on report from community members is reasonable. Dribbble looks like a very social/community-centric site, I'd imagine if a rogue member were to post inappropriate content, the community can come together and help moderate. This also mean that if community members feel personally offended and take it the other way, and ding someone like in this instance, the site steps in and make it right. Again, Dribbble unbanned him shortly after. I just feel like it's a non-issue-but that's just my opinion.

Disclaimer: I posted a draft of this last week. Got some feedback and had since updated the article. I've also moved the article to Medium for a bit more eyes. Not personally trying to gain anything, just wanted to raise some awareness about the issue. Thanks.

Doing tech, especially tech startups for a while and some day you wake up thinking to yourself: if we pool all our skills together, we could build the world we ought to have by the end of next 'sprint'--But why are we all stuck building sand castles after sand castles? Yeah, when the hivemind takes over and everyone is afraid to speak up, that's when we can no longer innovate. It's great to find like-minded team mates, it's not so great when people are afraid to speak their minds due to fear of being an outcast.

Absolutely agree with you on starting conversation. Both you, me and a lot of our tech friends can use our skills as armors and shields. Unfortunately, many of our colleagues are a little more vulnerable especially since most startups often do not have a full-fledge and empowered HR department. I hope that we can start speaking up more and coming into defense of these colleagues sooner to prevent workplace bullying from taking shape in the organizations we're a part of. Thank you again for speaking up, my friend!

Beautiful culture. It appears that headdresses are so much more than simple ornaments in pretty much all cultures. When I got married, as a Vietnamese male, I also wore the headdress.

I think there's much more to Ukraine than what we read or don't read on the news.

As someone from the outside looking in, my heart breaks for many friends in Ukraine who lost their homes. I wrote this for my Donetsk friends who had to uproot: http://nguonthieng.com/thirty-ba-muoi/story-of-the-wind.html

I've been a little confused because I've seen the name "Wanderlust" somewhere before. http://wanderlust.com/ isn't yours is it? If it's not, then I would seriously consider a different name since .com domain name combined with the fact that it has been around a little longer as well as the (almost similar?) "explore something/somewhere" mission. Other than that, your chance is as good as any one's. Good luck!

Thanks for getting back to me. Wow, Day One looks like an amazing app. I would certainly use it if my needs were simply journaling AND I can read their key management system specs. For some reason, I'm stilling writing on a notebook when it comes to private thoughts--just a force of habit I suppose. I think I'm like you, I would probably be more honest if I know what I write is going to be for my eyes only.

EDIT: You did launch your note app. Congratulations! I would to hear more about QuickNotes if you have a chance.

You make a good point. Having worked in consumer & enterprise security space, I can definitely confirm that security is indeed a very VERY difficult thing to sell. It's a chronic pain killer often-time conceived as a vitamin. I wasn't planning on pushing the security aspect of it, but yeah, engineering habit--I get excited about tech and forget that most people don't find it as as fascinating hah.

I sincerely hope you launch your note app. I think there's a reason why there are so many of them out there. No one has gotten it right yet. I thought Evernote did a pretty good job as conquering the market, but I think there's enough individuality, because I think that's what it is, everyone captures and consumes notes differently. We can certainly carve out a niches :)

Good luck!

Hi Duncan. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Yeah, I currently use multiple tools to manage my stuff as well but it's starting to feel like playing lego with tools. As much as I love to play around with lego, I'm getting tired of jumping from app to app to just handle a couple of "seemingly related" tasks to me. Not to mention usability and collaboration isn't without much friction. If anything, I need a tool that I can tell my wife: "here, use this, write your note and secure your passwords here" instead of scattering them everywhere.

While I think successful folks do a fair share of "rewriting history" especially about spots in their timeline which could be considered "mean", I would much prefer PG's optimistic view. It keeps me more hopeful and that I could make the harder choice to be a good person for long-term success than to be a bad one for instant gratified returns. There's no problem in being hopeful and I welcome such positive "opinions".

Using its best guess with dependency, it creates the appropriate migration file(s) favoring more files over potential conflicts. I think that's fine. The problem is consistency. However you choose to run the makemigrations, it should at least result in the same amount of files. It can't be more or less conflict if nothing is changed.

I have to say that I've been a big Django user and have been using 1.7.x for a bit in my own development. There are a couple of "oddities" for me that perhaps folks will encounter:

1. If you do heavy TDD, you might not like that fact that you can't skip migrations the same way you previously could with SOUTH_TESTS_MIGRATE = False. There's a thread going on (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/django-developers/PW...). It appears that with syncdb going away, there isn't an option available. I really hope there's a way to retain syncdb for unittest because I don't need to test database migration every time I run my quick unittests.

2. I think 'makemigrations' is a bit inconsistent at the moment. Sometimes it creates more than 1 initial files, sometimes it creates just 1 (if you run 'makemigrations app-name' instead of 'makemigrations')

There are a couple of other general Django issues, but those are the things I encountered while working with 1.7.x.

Actually, have you had a chance to read this: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/1.7/#schema-m...

I think it's a pretty cool project for father & children bonding. I wrote down some thoughts down in "The Future of Our Past" (quick read I promise!): http://nguonthieng.com/thirty-ba-muoi/the-future-of-our-past...

Thank you. I really appreciate the kind words. -V.
